Lugo Guided City Tour

On the day of your tour, meet your guide by the giant chess board located in Praza Maior, Lugo's main city square and the location of the Concello, the town hall.

From here, you'll set off on your guided walking tour towards Saint Mary's Cathedral, a 12th-century religious building. Inside, admire various artistic and architectural styles from Romanesque to Gothic to Baroque to Neoclassical. Visit the chapels dedicated to San Froilán and the Virgin with Big Eyes, the patron saints of Lugo.

Next, reach Lugo's Roman walls, the only city in the world completely surrounded by intact Roman walls. Walk alongside these preserved 3rd-century walls, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and learn about Lucus Augusti.

Continue to the Domus Do Mitreo Museum, built on archaeological remains of a Roman temple. This museum, managed by the University of Santiago de Compostela, offers insights into Lugo's Roman past.

We'll stroll through the city’s historic centre and visit its main squares: Plaza de Santo Domingo, Plaza del Campo, Plaza de Campo Castelo, and Plaza Mayor.
